This movie sounds reprehensible.

So... it's like the Lone Ranger version of those contemporary superhero comics where they just add rape and act embarrassed about about the hokeyness of what were originally children's characters?

this movie bombed, apparently.

My dad wanted to see this so I went with him. It was cute but it was basically Pirates of the Caribbean in Texas.

Disney has taken hits with John Carter too, but they have Pirates/Marvel/Pixar money. They probably don't give a crap in the long run.

Oh and Star Wars now too.

I really dont have any desire to see this film, I'll probably redbox it when it comes on DVD but thats about it. But I wonder if this would have been a flop[ no matter what (i.e. there just is no love for this pulp character) or is it really a matter of how it was presented?

I haven't seen the 1981 film in a long time, but I dont remember hating it. My dad actually showed me the original sereals as a kid , and I have the FILMATION Lone Ranger/Zorro cartoons on DVD. I just feel bad because i just think this is another example of a character that wasn't ready to make a big screen comeback. It may have done better on television.

It lowers my hope for a good Flash Gordon film. I know Sci-Fi movies can do very well, btu they can be disastrous as well. For all the nostalgic love I have for the 1980 film, I'd like to see a modern update (aside fom the abominable sci-fi TV series from a couple of years ago). But things like the Lone Rangers failure dont give me hope.

As usual, another epic review from Jay and Mike on Half In The Bag...their reviews are often far more interesting and entertaining than the actual films themselves:

Just saw the movie.

I liked it.
It was FUN.

Really enjoyed the hyperbolic, Tall Tale style.

THR:

Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer claim U.S. reviewers based their assessment of the poorly received film on its backstory and massive budget.

THR:

UPDATED: The media conglomerate will suffer up to a $190 million loss on the Johnny Depp film in the fiscal fourth quarter.
